A study of the effect of control force gradient on the VTOL visual hovering task was conducted on the NASA-Ames Research Center Six-Degree-of-Freedom Motion Simulator. Lateral control force-gradient characteristics were evaluated in combination with three different types of stabilization systems: An unstabilized (acceleration) system, a rate-stabilized system, and two attitude-stabilized systems. The effects of gust disturbances were included in the control force evaluation for the attitude systems. A force gradient of 1.0 lb/in was within the optimum range for all control systems and conditions evaluated in this study.
